Cabin fever

[Tesseract Allen]

I believe that Homo Sapiens were designed to go about naked at all times.   Take a good look at the soles of your feet, see how thick the skin there is,we were designed by God, the Tao, Allah to walk barefoot.    I hope that someone asks how would we cope with the cold.

The answer is stemcell jackets, right?

Well that explains the state of my room... 



Honestly, I'm usually a clean freak.  But I spent 8 of the last 9 months on the road, stopping here only long enough to empty my backpack, fill it up again, and leave.  With all that snow, could you blame me?

Sweet gladiolas on a donkey turd, I'm so sick of clouds and rain!!  Ten days without blue skies or direct sunlight and I'm starting to get soooo looooooow.....  Too upset to even think about my job search any longer because even the mere thought that I'm unemployed sets me off into a crying fit.

I laid in my bed for two hours today, curled up with the bear my mom held as she gave birth to me.  It's something I do when I'm at my lowest points.  It's pretty obvious that my seasonal depression is back in full swing due to this weather because I can't face anything at all.

Can someone mail me some of my beloved sunshine?

Zoe there must be a weather system stretching all the way across the Atlantic.   The whole of May has been grey and dark, and cold as well.

Please don't hate me, Zoe.  But we had a beautiful day today.  And tomorrow it will be in the 70's.

But here is some spare sunshine.

The Atlantic too, eh?  The Pacific is what's serving up the crap that we're getting.  Looking out my bedroom window, I see that the pool at our apartment complex has overflowed, which makes me pretty glad that I'm on the second floor since my building is the one right next to the pool.

And Janet, I love that sunshine!  Looks like a Bob Ross painting...    I actually have episodes of Joy of Painting on DVD, and I think I'll pop those in while I clean.  His voice was so soothing, and I can't really handle cacophony right now.  Not when I've finally got the strength to get out of bed.  Today was so blue that I took a shower at 10 AM, did half my makeup, cried, put my pajamas back on, and climbed back under my covers.  Lost a whole day of job searching.

Then one of my friends told me I was being a downer and canceled our plans for tonight.  This hasn't been my month...

  Zoe, I get tired of this too.  The Ouija forecast for tomorrow calls for some clearing tomorrow and dry for the weekend.  That Jet Stream loop will be at our south for a while yet.  My garden is fine, but the corn has not come up.  If they don't germinate properly because of the prolonged cold we had, I will have to replant.  Smile  , we care.  Good luck with the job hunt!

P. S. I like the late Bob Ross too.  I loved it when he turns a blank canvas to a finished painting in less than 1/2 hour!

[JungianZoe]

Thank you, Joelene!    I really hope that your corn finds the strength it needs to take root and greet the sun.  I'm hoping the Ouija board is right for tomorrow, because even the great 9News prognosticator Kathy Sabine confirms it.

OhpleaseOhpleaseOhpleaseOhpleaseOhpleaseOhpleaseOhplease...

And wasn't Bob Ross wonderful?  I'll bet he never suffered much cabin fever, he just whipped out a canvas and painted the cabin.    I wish I could find the calm that he always exuded.  Still remember the day he died, just a month after my high school graduation, and how much of a loss for humanity I felt it was.  Still feel it was.  The world could use more people like him, who create such beauty while empowering others to do likewise.

  I used the same Ouija board.  Kathy is high on the science for girls program she helped start.  I see more girls getting science scholarships in the past decade.  The boys are still playing videos, the girls have gone to college.

So I was working on some job search stuff this morning while the sun was out, thinking I'd go out and enjoy it this afternoon... and now the storms moved back in while I was getting ready to go and I missed the sun entirely.    I'm so mad at myself that I've cried off all the makeup I just put on and I'm on the verge of a full-blown panic attack.

Think it's time to climb back into bed.  I seriously can't deal with this.
